This spring marks the beginning of a new chapter for the English department here at Villanova, as we are now able to provide competitive book scholarships and other funds to support both academic and professional experiences that emphasize exploration and growth.
We are pleased to be able to offer the following scholarship possibilities to our majors: a merit scholarship for purchasing books, funding to support graduate school testing and application costs, funding to support an internship, funding to support study abroad, and funding to support an academic need or experience (such as supplies, or conference travel).
While English majors may apply for funds and scholarships more than once, preference will be given to students who have not received department funding in the past. Students may receive a maximum of $2,500 in funding over the course of their studies in the English Department.
We have received these funds from a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous. We are deeply thankful to them.
We are pleased to be able to share the names of some of our first recipients of these funds: Isabel Choi '25, Catherine Messier '24, and Kai Williams '25. Isabel Choi received funds to support a writing internship, Catherine Messier received funds to support studying abroad in Oxford, and Kai Williams received funds for studying abroad and an internship in London. Congratulations to these students!
While applications for funding are currently closed for spring and summer 2024, they will re-open this coming fall. We encourage our majors to apply! You can learn more on our departmental website.
